Ian Hamilton Finlay

"Concrete poetry began for me with the extraordinary sense that the syntax I had been using , the movement of language within me, af a physical level was no longer there. So it had to be replaced with something else with a syntax and movement that would be true of this new feeling."

"Evening/Sail EVEN -ING WILL COME"

"An everyman who happened to accomplish the extraordinary."

"Finlay blended flowers, words, photography, sculpture, and typography into a potluck of avant-garde pieces of art."

"A devout Classicist in an age of Romanticism."
